Ancient Satire for Grouchy Times<\/strong><\/p>\n

What can a zany, age-old, theater comedy tradition based on human nature teach us today? Nothing. Because we humans never learn. But it still can make us laugh!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCommedia dell\u2019Netprov\u201d is an exploration of the centuries-old (some scholars believe: millennia-old) satirical theater tradition we know as the Italian Commedia dell\u2019Arte. <\/span><\/p>\n

Wearing masks and ridiculous costumes, using stock characters based on universal observations of human behavior, the Commedia actors improvise and boisterously satirize the foibles and passions that forever get us humans into trouble. This art is part of the roots of contemporary traditions such as Improv Comedy and British Panto. <\/span><\/p>\n

Netprov players will have a chance to try on characters and represent them in word and image, working together \u2026 well, no \u2026 Commedia characters rarely work together \u2026 working at cross-purposes to solve some classic, small town problem. And love will abound. <\/span><\/p>\n

Part D&D, part Escape Zoom, part Writers Room, this netprov will be All Fun.<\/span><\/p>\n
